That sounds incredibly easy! We have been using the powdered laundry soap from Goat Milk Stuff, but I just read in their newsletter that they are having a hard time keeping up with demand and will raise the price on that while reducing the price of their laundry soap bar. I am thinking that once we run low on what we have now, I might have to give this a try! :) About how much does this recipe make?

Ok, I was wrong. Goat Milk Stuff is raising the price on their ready-to-use laundry soap, but offering a reduced price on what is basically a laundry soap kit- everything ready to used except you have to grate the laundry soap bar yourself. So, it looks like the choices are to pay more for ready-to-use soap, or grate my own. And if I have to grate my own, it would be cheaper and the same amount of work to just use your recipe. :)

Lisa, I read that, too. I have not used their ready-made powdered detergent because I didn't want to pay all that shipping! :) When I saw this particular recipe, I knew I wanted to give it a try. When I grate my bars, I usually freeze them to make them firmer to grate. It has worked well for me that way. When I make the powdered version, I store it in a big Rubbermaid cereal container. I don't know quite how to describe it to you, but with the borax and washing soda being 8 cups each and then the two bars of soap...you'd have at least 16 cups and then the soap besides. It lasts me a long time and I do A LOT of laundry! The liquid makes more detergent, though. I just think of them as different "tools" in my bag o' tricks! :)

I am definitely thinking that we will have to give that a try! I am actually excited to use up what we have and get this going. :) I have been really pleased with how well their ready-made detergent works, and I would imagine that this would work just as well since it contains the same ingredients. (Plus, we get to choose whatever scent we want to use, which is really cool!) I did read your other post about making the liquid detergent, but this just seems like a lot less work. :) Thanks so much for the info! :)
